In this paper, we analyze the transformation of vertical division of labor in the semiconductor industry. In the semiconductor industry, the vertical division of labor has progressed due to the emergence of a business model called foundries which specializes in contract production that could be described as “disruptive innovation” in the 1980s. Then, under the COVID-19, as the demand for semiconductors has increased and the semiconductors became in short, TSMC has attracted increasing attention as a key player in the supply of semiconductors in the world. This situation is no longer something like “suppliers from late industrialized countries grow up in the vertical division of labor governed by companies in developed countries,” as the Global Value Chain theory or the Global Production Network theory described. In the divides, the form of vertical division of labor is shifting to a new phase where the supplier holds the casting boat. This is the first aspect of the transformation of the vertical division of labor in the semiconductor industry. Moreover, developed countries such as the United States and Japan, where vertically integrated semiconductor companies once prospered, are eager to attract TSMC factories in order to incorporate semiconductor production bases into their own countries. That is, the vertical division of labor, which was in the form of “a company in a developed country consigns production to a supplier located in a low-cost late developed country,” has changed to a phenomenon in which a supplier in the late developed country has a production base in a developed country at the request of a developed country. This is the second aspect of the transformation of the vertical division of labor in the semiconductor industry.

本研究は、台湾をめぐる科学技術人材の国際労働力移動について、とりわけ台湾と中国の間の移動に焦点を当てて分析した。台湾では科学技術人材が不足しているが、台湾と中国の企業の間では、相互に人材獲得を図る動きが起こっている。台湾企業が中国の人材を欲するのは、台湾で不足している科学技術人材の数の補填のためと見られ、他方で中国企業が台湾の人材を欲するのは、台湾の人材が持つ先端技術や能力を求めてのようである。しかし、台湾の人材は全体でみると流出超となっており、台湾の科学技術人材の不足は、今後さらに深刻になる可能性もある。
